He looked at me and pulled me out of the rain. He put me sitting next to the store, on the bench, and I stared at him, so I admired how perfect he was.
After taking all that rain, crying and looking at that man so perfect, so beautiful, he called a taxi and I at the taxi door, all wet, I looked at him and I hugged hard and thanked him.
"Thank you for everything, thank you for saving me and saving my baby. I don't even know what I'd be like if it wasn't for you.
"Imagine, go straight home and take care of yourself. Lady, it's going to be better.
I looked at my phone again and saw myself being a grandmother and took a deep breath and looked at it and thanked it again.
"But thank you very much. I thank you with all my heart for helping me, but I need to go home... Thank you very much.
I got in the cab, all wet, and I saw Grandma's calls and I didn't call, and I didn't answer any.
I just texted her.
"Hi, Grandma, it's me, Valentina.
I'm fine, I'm already home.
Now I'm going to take care of myself and I'm going to distance myself a little, but anything sends me a message.
I thank you for everything.
Thank you, Valentina."
But I had to go home, I had to get back to my life and I could let it hit me like that. And that's what I did. When I got home, I didn't cry. I went under the shower and took a hot bath and thinking about my baby, I put my hand in my womb and all I could think about was him at that moment. Remembering what to hear in the hospital.
"He doesn't remember me, he forgot me."
And what am I going to do now with my life? I put my hand on my belly crying and remembering him.
I looked again at our pictures on top of the dumb servant and cried. I couldn't help but cry and I didn't stop thinking about him.
That was the truth.
I woke up in the morning with a headache, but I couldn't work.
So I told the job, asked Carol to let her know I wasn't going to work.
And I went to take care of myself and that's what I did.
Walk around town and think of everything, think of me. The days go by so fast, and yet I didn't stop thinking about him, knowing how he was doing.
Grandma would text her every day, saying how she was doing. And I’m sorry it was the weekend, i was going to be able to stay away from all that, from work, from people asking about him. But I knew I was going to have to go back to work and how was it going to be the two of us over there?
And when I got to work, the first thing they asked me was how he was doing.
What was I going to say? That he's fine and he's with someone else?
I just shook my head and said, "And she walked in with the coffee and telling the office gossip.
"Carol, I want to forget everything and start my life over.
I couldn't believe it, tired, exhausted, I came into my office, kept doing my job.
When I saw him, he came with her, all smiley, already talking, passed his hand in the hair, had shorter hair, no beard, in a dark suit.
I haven't even looked into my office yet, and because he'd look, he wouldn't remember me, that's the truth.
I was in my office, and he was in his with her and I saw that the two of them were smiling, happy and I stood there bitterly, looking and seeing that situation.
- Friend, you saw, she went back to the office, and I didn't understand anything.
"Don't want to understand friend and let's get to work.
She went out and went to get the new project papers and I couldn't accept that, but I was going to be indifferent to him, I wasn't even going to look him in the face.
Carol came in hugging me, kissing me, and shouting:
"At night we have celebrations, just to warn you, no excuses, you know why? I kept looking at her, and if I knew I was pregnant, I'd want to hit him. "Because it's our favorite friend Antunes' birthday.
And she would roll and dance and jump and hold me and I saw that he looked into my room, and I jumped with her, indifferent to him.
I wasn't going to give a.
"That's right, Carol, today we're going to have fun and I'm going to dance late, I don't even want to know.
" Oh, and today I want to know not friend, today I want to have a lot of fun, we're going to enjoy.
"So, it took, the night is ours.
I was not going to cry for him. If he wants to be with her, his problem is enough.
No man deserves me to be humiliated, squeezing like I was. Now it's payback time.
I started not looking at him or seeing that he existed. I went to the canteen to get a coffee and sat on the small bench and ate a piece of a cake I had and had a coffee and when I turned around, to get up, I almost fell on my body was pushed.
And he pulled me with everything, and I almost fell to the ground when he held my hand and I screamed:
"Damn, why did you push me?
"Are you crazy?
At the time he pulled my hands and I looked into my eyes, and she stared at me and I felt invaded by his eyes and I took a deep breath and I felt like crying.
